(Historical Notes: I’ve said on numerous occasions that the biggest challenge in trying to write a clever, intelligent character is that the character can generally only manage to be as clever or intelligent as the person writing him… which is[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
(Historical Notes: FINALLY. Back firing on all cylinders again. The stuff related to Vance may have needed some rewrites, but I still think just about everything with Mooney works pretty dang well.)
